Been contacted by the previous owner of a domain name for a name that I registered back in November 2002. I don't want to sell but they are telling me that they have a trademark based on common law (no official filing with PTO) and are threatening to go UDRP.
Now this sounds like a flimsy defense to me. And after searching the UDRP archives, I am pretty confident about my position here.
But I am quite interested to hear what you guys think about this situation. I haven't seen much about common law trademarks here on dnforum, so maybe we can all learn something.
